摘要:
Methods and systems for monitoring compliance of a patient with a prescribed treatment regimen are described. Patient speech is detected during use of a communication system such as a mobile telephone and analyzed to determine compliance with a treatment for a brain-related disorder, for example. Speech data representing one or more patient speech pattern and an identity signal containing information used to determine presence/identity of the patient are transmitted from a circuitry-based system at the patient location to a monitoring location. Identity of the patient as user of the communication system is determined through, e.g., biometric or authentication techniques. Speech data is analyzed to determine whether a patient speech pattern matches one or more characteristic speech patterns. Outcome of the analysis is reported to a medical caregiver or other party, for example.
